BAFTA chairman Nigel Lythgoe says; "She unwaveringly maintains her integrity and, through her choice of roles, continually challenges both herself and her audiences' perception of her.” John Lasseter was previously announced as the recipient of the Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Filmed Entertainment, while David Yates will receive the John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Excellence in Directing. These talents join the likes of Clint Eastwood, Colin Firth, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Kate Winslet and Elizabeth Taylor, all of whom have received Britannia Awards since their inception in 1989.
